The Fight by Laurel Blossom was a good poem to me because it identifies the struggles of relationships between people. This poem states why I don't plan on getting married anytime soon because everyone is different meaning no two people are the same, even twins. The author used a typical rhyme sceme with two consecutive lines rhyming with each other. I think the great image this poet was trying paint was that of a man and a woman livng together unmarried but the woman wants to be but the man enjoys his freedom. They probably love each other but the man still sees their differences and prefferences so, he also notices that she doesn't care that they argue and still wants to be married.
Wheels by Jim Daniels was also a nice poem. I like it because I love cars and this poem was about the poets brother who love cars, trucks, and bikes. He kept pictures of every one he had ever owned and these picture also included his family becausse they were around his vehicles too. This guy had a wide variety of vehicles too, from Impalas, Hondas, and Harleys to big rigs. At the end the poet used a metaphor " no camera to save him" meaning to me that he's gone and the pictures aren't enough. The author restated over and over that his brother was waving, I guess waving goodbye.
Imagining defeat by David Berman was a good poem for me because it was about a man praising being able to wake up another day. The author used "a tree up in the distance tha doesn't matter" as a metaphor for when the man's wife asked him if he ever thought about cancer and what I think of as saying that yeah he's thought of ti but isn't really worried about it like a tree in the distance, you may see it but do you really pay that much attention to it? I think the big picture to this poem is that no matter how you feel when you wake up you should just be happy that you woke up at all.
